Pinksteren

Vandaag is het Pinksteren. De Geest is uitgestort. Misschien heel vreemd, maar ik denk vandaag aan de ontmoeting van paus Johannes Paulus II met Bob Dylan. Tijdens de Wereld Eucharistie Viering 1997 sprak de paus met Dylan. De kerkleider zei tegen de profeet het volgende:

A representative of yours has just said on your behalf that the answer to the questions of your life “is blowing in the wind”. It is true! But not in the wind which blows everything away in empty whirls, but the wind which is the breath and voice of the Spirit, a voice that calls and says: “come!” (cf. Jn 3:8; Rv 22:17).

You asked me: How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man? I answer you: one! There is only one road for man and it is Christ, who said: “I am the way” (Jn 14:6). He is the road of truth, the way of life.

Mooi.
